>now that HIV isn't a death sentence So long as the supply chains keep running, insurance keeps paying for the drugs (which can cost thousands of USD per month over the course of a patient's entire life), the drugs reach the patient, and the patient takes all their drugs on schedule. If at all possible, I'd rather avoid a life-or-death dependence on global supply chains, pharmaceutical factories, and insurance agents most of all. People die every year for lack of insulin, and that drug is much cheaper, more well-understood biologically, and more widely available than HIV medications.
